S. Bennett, superintend- ent of the local plant.

The superintendent denied any definite knowledge of the plan to| transfer men to .the Plainville plant and also refuted the rumor that 2,- 500 men would be employed within six months. He admits, however, that the concern will greatly increase its working force and that production will be on a large scale. Hugh Rockwell said the concern will add approximately 500 opera- tives to its payroll within the next three months. The factory now em- ploys about 700 men, Working on three shifts Of eight hours each, so that the plant now runs continually for 24 hours cach day. The first shift is from 7 a. m. to 3 p. m.; the second from 3 p. m. to 11 p m,, and the third from 11 p m. to 7a m. Mr. Rockwell also said that men are being transferred at the present time from the New Haven and Phil- adelphia branches of the Standard Steel & Bearings to the local plant. The production of steel roller bear- ings on a large scale is the plan of of the officials of the corporation and the Plainville branch factory will heve its part in the work.
